Last week, Captain Marvel officially received an MPAA rating of PG-13, and while the news didn’t come as particularly surprising, the development did indicate that the theatrical cut of the film has now been completed. This in turn implies that the movie’s official runtime has finally been set in stone, and sure enough, after a few weeks of sites listing similar but contradictory lengths for Carol Danvers’ MCU debut, it looks like theater chains are starting to share the final figure.
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers isn’t exactly considered a franchise high point by fans or critics, with the feature coming out to lousy reviews and earning the lowest global box office gross of any Halloween film to date. But like every entry in the long-running slasher saga, the 1989 flick has its defenders, and even those who don’t care for the movie may be interested to find out what Compass International Pictures and Trancas International Films unearth from its production.
Though we’re currently in the midst of a exceptionally big year for movies based on Stephen King novels, the renowned author’s body of work is no stranger to the big screen, and in the new poster for Pet Sematary, the upcoming remake of one ‘80s King adaptation pays tribute to another.
Though R2-D2 and C-3PO have appeared in every Star Wars episode to date, it’s been a while now since the two of them have had much opportunity to bounce off each other, with the duo being kept mostly separate in the ongoing Sequel Trilogy. That looks set to change, however, with the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX, with actor Jimmy Vee announcing the end of his time on set with a shout out to his costar Anthony Daniels.
In these last few years, the Star Wars fan forums have continued to flood with rumors and theories suggesting family connections between the saga’s various characters, from the ongoing speculation on who Rey’s ‘true’ parents could be, to attempts at connecting Finn to the wider saga. At this point, family-related rumors have practically become a forum cliché, albeit a fitting one, given the Original and Prequel Trilogies’ fixation on the theme. But while the recent hearsay that Naomi Ackie is playing Lando Calrissian’s daughter Vera in Star Wars: Episode IX should be taken with the usual grain of salt, a new piece from Screen Rant makes the compelling case that one tie-in book may have already laid the groundwork for Lando’s offspring to be revealed.
Expectations are high for Us, but so far, the footage we’ve seen from Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out offers little reason to believe that the director won’t have another commercial and critical smash on his hands.
Zombieland: Double Tap adds yet another noteworthy addition to its impressive cast list in the form of Thomas Middleditch, who’ll be joining returning players Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin in the long-awaited follow-up to 2009’s Zombieland.
Though Jessica Jones still has a third season to come, it’s long been assumed that the Krysten Ritter-led series and its fellow Marvel/Netflix show The Punisher are living on borrowed time after Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Daredevil all got the axe in quick succession last year.
As the first trailer and TV spot for Avengers: Endgame make clear, the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel will see Captain America hatch a plan to reverse the genocidal snap that concluded his last movie, but so far, the official footage has done a fairly decent job at concealing the specifics of his scheme. Nonetheless, in a new piece from Screen Rant, the evidence we have so far is compiled into a pretty compelling prediction of how Marvel’s Phase 3 finale could play out.
The novel premise of Happy Death Day was no doubt one of biggest reasons for the 2017 slasher flick’s box office success, with the film ultimately grossing $125.5 million worldwide on a $4.8 million budget. What’s more, the upcoming Happy Death Day 2U has a fair amount of positive buzz behind it, and if the Blumhouse Productions sequel performs as well as expected, then director Christopher Landon already has another crazy idea that the third movie could explore.
